RUGVED THITE

I am a downhill mountain biker from India. I started off with mountain biking with my friend on the nearby hills and in a short period, I knew what I was gonna do for the rest of my life! Go downhill!I started in 2015 with a hard tail bike - Merida. The advantage of learning downhill on a hardtail was that I got used to taking those bumps which we don’t feel on the full suspension bikes. Finally in October 2016 after one year of research and begging my dad to buy me a downhill bike, I got a Giant Glory 0 (second hand 2015 model). Its a great bike and I just love its comfortable geometry. I remember racing on my hardtail. It was hard but I still managed to get on a few podiums. And I haven’t been off the podium since I got my downhill bike!The 2017 season has been going great for me till now but I still have some big podiums to catch!
